Welcome aboard.

Yes it works. You will need the Eclipse plugin for SubVersion. Once you have that you're pretty much up and running.

Manage your artefacts through the Team menu in Information Server Manager.

I assume that you actually have a string field, since time fields don't have a format (they are stored as binary numbers). Simply prefix the string with a "0" character and use the rightmost six characters of the result, with "%hh%nn%ss" as the format string. Right("0" ...

Re: ParameterSet value file selection, on the fly

One feasibility that comes to my mind is to specify a value file at the design time but change the values in "that" value file, on the run-time. But this is not a good one for my needs. Why not? This is a technique I use frequently. You should be able to specify a parameter in the sequenc...

Does not the SCD stage allow one to specify some columns for Type 1 handling and others for Type 2?

It would be best if there were three or more options. Here, however, there were only two options (to fix, or not to fix, that is the question), so the comparative adjective "better" should be used.

Change from a Record Delimiter property of "UNIX Style" to a Record Delimiter String property of "DOS Style".

The 0d on the end of each record is the carriage return of the DOS style line terminator.

Better practice is to identify the causes of the warnings and to try to eliminate them.

When you run a job from Director or Designer the Job Run Options dialog allows you to set a non-default limit on the number of warnings.

There is something like a file list in DataStage Sequential File stage; you can specifically name each file (multiple File properties), you can use a wildcard (File Pattern), you can use a Filter command to pre-read the files. The Filter command could even be constructed dynamically in a UNIX script...
